Owing to the base station of different communication systems can be carried out the transmission of location reference signals, and positioning service
Device needs to determine mobile station carries out RSTD measurement on which base station of which kind of system according to the information obtained.
As when single use existing communication system, such as the regulation according to LTE protocol TS36.133, each movement
Platform needs at least to measure 16 communities, and mobile station has different connecing for each base station of every kind of system
Receive quality, if carrying out RSTD measurement, Ke Nengzao on the poor existing communication system cell of signal quality
Mobile station is become to be unable to properly receive PRS or cannot correctly estimate that head reaches the time of advent in footpath, and to location
Server e-SMLC reports inaccurate RSTD, eventually causes the amplification of position error, and positioning precision is relatively
Low problem.Therefore when carrying out positioning initialization, mobile station should measurement based on it to positioning service
